IBM has been working hard to get their Bluemix platform up and running as a serious contender to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. The array of technology services is already very large, and with the acquisition of Compose they will now offer native (as opposed to third-party) Mongo, Reddis, ElasticSearch and PostgreSQL services.

"Compose's breadth of database offerings will expand IBM's Bluemix platform for the many app developers seeking production-ready databases built on open source," said Derek Schoettle, General Manager, IBM Cloud Data Services. "Compose furthers IBM's commitment to ensuring developers have access to the right tools for the job by offering the broadest set of DBaaS service and the flexibility of hybrid cloud deployment."

    An algorithm tells me how to implement title case.

    That has no bearing on the fact that it's a pointless ambiguity-introducing tradition.

    Well, actually in a way it does have a bearing. I think it reinforces the fact. If you need an algorithm to tell you how to implement a particular* capitalisation style, I'd say that alone is more than enough reason not to use said style.

    (* "particular" as in one of the many varied and arbitrary title case rulesets in use)

    Why not just write headlines the way you'd write any other piece of English? Everyone knows how to do that, and more importantly it's how everyone reads. Only proper nouns capitalised (makes them easy to identify; see headline of this story), the word "and" not being replaced with a comma, and so forth. It's simple, clear, and good enough for the BBC [bbc.co.uk]!
